I got mine, but didn't get the 3D glasses or the decoder kit. I did get the 8 ball and put it on my antennae, but it has since been stolen. Is nothing sacred? I mean, really, how can you steal a dude's 8 ball off of his antennae? Is this the epitomy of lowlife? Next, I have to hide my dirty socks at the gym?

I am now officially depressed!

Ugh, now that is seriously annoying! If it gives you any solace though, you aren't the first.

Mine came today (along with a giant box of detailing goodness from Detailer's Paradise. I got the various decoders, but I got a die antenna topper, not an 8-ball. Boooooo(urns)!

Since they're still shipping out decoders I guess this means there'll still be ads to decode? I can't wait to go to Barnes and/or Noble and look like Secret Agent Double-Oh-Dorkbutt in the periodicals section.

I think the window poetry might be model specific. I've an MCS, and mine has an S, and a picture of an MCS hardtop.

Still haven't received my kit. Maybe I didn't spend enough to make it worth their while.

I signed up as soon as I had a production number. Oh well, I'll take the car over a box of junk any day.

I received the Adventure Kit today and I must say that this is the best kit to date. I can't wait to see the next decoding challenge!

I wonder when it'll start. I took my adventure kit to the library and decoded the old ads. I'm wondering if they'll still send me the stuff.

Rec'd the adventure kit today, 6 weeks after delivery. I take it that the roll inside of the box contains stencils? Pretty nice little gift set.

MINI knows that the little things in life do matter

The roll is a window sticker/poem type thing

the stencil will actually come in its own little envelope...it unfolds and you can get some spray paint and do a couple swings over it and says "MINI ONLY PARKING" (MINI PARKING ONLY i forget haha)

That's pretty funny. I've gotten presents from the dogs before, but never my car.

Oddly enough, the medallion thingy for decoding the third round of ads showed up in the mail today. No sign of the toggle switch overlay, but that wouldn't be much use anyway as I don't think it'd even fit on an R56.

Yeah they do send the toggle switch once you sign up for it through the adventure kit, but you're right it does not fit the R56

Anyone just get a second adventure kit? I got mine originally a month after I got my car last October. Surprised to see another box arrive today. Most of the stuff is the same except now instead of a 8-ball antenna topper I got the dice antenna ball instead. Now I have a second Mini mousepad that I can take and use at work. Woo-hoo.

I just got my adventure kit.

How do you stick the carbon dash plaque on the dash? You'd think it would come with tape or something. Where is everybody putting their window sticker? Is the car cleaner kit any good? What are you supposed to do with the red little round rubber ball (with the word Mini on it) with the hole in it?

It seems like a bunch of junk made in China except for the carbon dash plaque, that's pretty sweet.
